Keyed-Up by Zackery Wilson
Zackery Wilson’s “Keyed-Up” is a collection of six pieces for piano and fixed media, highlighting the intersection and juxtaposition of chiptune, classical, and jazz musical elements.
Essentially a culmination of his academic studies — a musical dissertation [formerly titled "Chamber Chip," arranged for various instrumentation(s)] — "Keyed-Up" is a re-imagining of the aforementioned concept, with the piano [again] serving exclusively as the feature instrument. Following standard contemporary music conventions, these pieces combine the traditional acoustic sound of the piano with pre-recorded electronic elements (fixed media), which allow for live performance* (in both public and private settings).
*Note: Purchase of album grants full access to performance materials via [downloadable] audio (fixed media) and musical score (PDF).
